Wow, I guess I got a unit before any quality issues came to light. My neighbor has a WD iDrive installed onto his WD door and he hasn't had any issues either. Maybe only WD iDrives West of the Colorado River work correctly?

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. I've had no issues.

I might be attending a Meguiar's Detailing Clinic this weekend. If I do go, I'll bring an extra floor tile I have and I'll see what kind of product they have or could recommend.

I love the wooden floors ... looks great.

But when using a jack or jack-stands, use some caution if the wheels or contact areas are relatively small. I used a Sears Craftsman 3-Ton jack with no problem, but I used an off-brand Aluminum jack (1-Ton) with small wheels and it deformed the RaceDeck slightly when under a load. I will be...

Since I've had the RaceDeck flooring, I've been spot cleaning with a Scotchbrite pad, or I've been using a damp mop. But when the big guns need to come out, I'm using the H O O V E R! I've been using the Hoover Steam Vac for our carpets and tile floors, and I thought I'd give it a try on the...

Do use a table saw to cut the tiles. If you don't have one, or your buddy doesn't either, what better reason to puchase one!

Too funny ... Yes, use a table saw to cut the edge tiles. You do want to have 1/2" to 3/4" gap between the tile and the wall. This stuff needs space to expand. When the sun is shining on tile, you can literally see the floor grow. Good job guys!

I love mine ... installed it with a help of a friend. I installed the unit onto a non-WD door. I just love not seeing the track-drive unit! On my To Do List, is to install a UPS to the iDrive, so that when the "Big One" comes, I can still open the door if power is not available.

I use a similiar system in house ... whole house water filtration and softening system, by Kinetico. http://www.kinetico.com/residntl/index2.htm What sold me on this type of system is that it doesn't require an electrical source to power the control valve. Kinetico uses a mechanical flow...

If you are interested in a Race Deck floor, contact Race Deck and ask for a couple of free sample tiles - I did and it allowed me to truely understand the product. Then you'll be able to understand what the Race Deck floor will sound like. www.RaceDeck.com

I agree ... Race Deck flooring does have a unique sound when you walk on it. I wouldn't call it noisey either. BTW, nice floor TAH81.

Me too ... nice rigging methods. I'm going to remember that trick! I can't wait to see your structure finished!

Boy, things have changed ... my favorite knife for taping is the 10" knife (my coworkers were partial to the 12"). It was simply a thin sheet of tempered steel attached to a very comfortable handle. I can't see myself using a knife that is not flat. What seperates the boys from the men is how...

I second the thought ...
